#3: There’s so much excitement in this third piece of news I’m going to let it remain in the words of teacher and SCB director JANNA KIROVA:

“And the best news for me as a teacher! WE HAVE GREAT NEWS TO SHARE!

“Former SCB student Emily Slawski was invited to dance at one of the most prestigious, worldwide Ballet Events — the Benois de la Danse Gala on May 17 at the Bolshoi theater in Moscow, Russia. Her partner, Dmitry Zagrebin, currently principal dancer with Swedish Royal Ballet, is nominated for Benois de la Danse Prix well know as ‘Ballet’s Oscars.’ They successfully performed Tchaikovsky pas de deux, sharing the stage with world ballet stars such as Lucia Laccara, Ekaterina Kondaurova, Semyon Chudin, Anastasia Kolegova and many more. This is an honor that is very much deserved!

“Emily joined Space Coast Ballet Academy in 2006 when she was nine years old. In 2010, she was invited to perform with the Radio City Hall Christmas Spectacular in New York City for three years in a row. Under Janna’s Kirova coaching, Emily was a Gold medalist winner in several competitions including World Ballet Competition in 2011 and Youth American Grand Prix in 2012. She received several scholarships including American Ballet Theater and New York City Ballet. In 2012 at the age of 16 she was invited to perform with ABT in apprentice position but she chose instead a one year contract with the Royal Swedish Ballet. In just a few short months she received a life long contract with the same company. Emily was chosen by Mats Ek, one of the most recognizable modern choreographer in the World, as Julia in his new production ‘Romeo and Juliette.’ She continues to succeed in her professional career and we are absolutely sure that more great news will come very soon!

“We are very exited and proud of Emily, she works very hard and never gives up.”
